Reviews for Ristorante Luce in Hamden, CT

Excellent. We only had appetizers and drinks. Everything was delicious!

Just about a perfect lunch! Service was excruciatingly slow to start. Once orders were taken everything flowed smoothly. $22... Prix Fixe lunch could be one of the best available!! Meatballs were bakef perfectly. The pomodoro sauce with ricotta pairs verywell with the meatballs. Mussels are definitely a heaping bowl size you get a lot. Lemon garlic broth brings out the musselstaste really well along with bits of smoked speck tasting like bacon. Salad course is served second and is a great pallettecleanser in between. It's not a typical American iceberg salad, you get nice baby greens. Gnocchi is a large serving size withjust the right amount of sauce and ricotta. Gnocchi are bite sized but taste great. Risotto Pescatore is another good sizedserving with pieces of shrimp, scallops, calamari, and clams. This tasted great as well. Would 100% go back again for lunch. Read more

Took advantage of the weather and enjoyed the outdoor seating. The $22 Lunch Special was excellent along with the service.

Perfect setting for outdoor dining (well spaced tables with large umbrellas). Everything we ate was phenomenal. Excellent... service that far exceeded our expectations. I wish I took more pictures of the food and drinks to share, but I was too busyenjoying tf out of it! We had mussels, meatballs, salmon, and gnocchi. As well as a pear martini and a lemon drop martini.Nothing could be improved. It was all 100% perfect (and I have very high expectations from restaurants, especially Italianrestaurants, since my grandparents used to have a very popular high end northern Italian restaurant).

crowded and noisy. Had pesto, came with one medium size scallop and three nice size shrimps. No sear mark on the scallop. Good... sear mark on the shrimp but over cooked and rubbery. Do not recommend. Read more

I went here on Wednesday night with my mother, aunt, and little cousin! It was my first time eating here, but I had to come try... this restaurant out because my aunt and cousin loved it so much that they recommended it! Our waiter was so friendly and helpfuland accommodating, he was wonderful! Thank you for a great dining experience! We were seated outside, but it wasn?t too coldthat night and they also had heaters as well. As soon as we had our food, we were warmed up pretty soon and I loved my pestopasta, which I absolutely recommend! Each plate were portioned perfectly, and dessert was just divine! We got the tiramisu andlava cake, which were amazing and delicious. All in all, a great experience and I recommend that everyone should come here atleast once!! Wonderful staff and delicious food! Thank you! Read more

I hosted a Baby Shower here for my Daughter in July. The service was excellent , the food was delicious and every guest raved... about it. They were a pleasure to work with. I wouldnt hesitate to host another event here. Read more

Have tried most of the apps/small plates here and never have been disappointed! One of my favorite places to gather with a small... group after work and just discovered the outside seating that is perfect, also! The place is spacious, feels clean and safe, andthe waitors have even made special requests happen. Try the seafood crepes, pizzeta with prosciutto and arugula, or ahi tunasalad w. goat cheese! All the drinks they mix up are tasty as well! Coconut Spritzer and blueberry mojito are delicious! See yousoon, Luce! Read more
